Victorian BDM lookup please

[Aussie1947]

Hi,

I have a John Ross (26) coming out from the Isle of Skye along with his wife Flora (24) and a Catherine Ross (21) in 1853 on the "New Zealand" arriving in Victoria.

I'm trying to find out if there was any births to John and Flora Ross in Victoria and any death registrations for John and Fora, if so I'm hoping for mothers and fathers to be mentioned,  (big wish I think though).

I don't know anything about Catherine but she probably was John's sister.

Regards

Gerry

Thanks Cando and Merlin,

I shouldn't be deviating to the Ross family yet until I get my German ancestry sorted out first but the Ross is on my wifes side and today I got some information that a John Ross came out from the Isle of Skye in 1853 into Victoria and he was the brother of Alexander Ross who was one of many who had died on board the Ontario the following year on its way to NSW.  Alexander's wife Flora survived along with 3 children with John (15) dying in Quarantine in Sydney. 

With the valuable information you have provided I now know John's parents and Flora's parents so I'll be able to do some research back in Skye with the censuses and try and find the correct Ross family, Nicholson family and McDonald family, but there are many families with the same surnames so it will be hard.

Great job with the information you have provided, thanks

Regards

Cando and Merlin,

Is there any chance of another Victorian look up please.

I'm looking for a death for a Catherine or Katherine Mackenzie in Victoria maybe late 1800s or early 1900s.

I have Catherine Ross coming out from Skye on the "New Zealander" in 1853 with her brother John she would have been born around 1831.

I think I have a marriage to a John Mackenzie in Victoria in 1857 but I have no details of her death or children if any.

Catherine's parents were John Ross and Margaret McDonald from Kilmuir Inverness-shire.

 Regards

Gerry
